THE PLANETS IN APRIL.
Notable Celestial Phenomena for the
Coming Month,

Says the Providence Journal: The
student of the stars will find the April
nights full of material for observation.
Five planets--Vcnus, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and the astcroid Vcsta--arc
visible at the same time In the evening.
Three of them, Jupiter Uranus and
Vesta, arc in the constellation Virgo
Jupiter In opposition Is the feature of
the month, for the prlncely planet

dewey eve till the morning breaks. He
Is bright enough to cast shadow, aud
keen.eyed observers may pick one or
more of his moons, or even look upon
the giant of the system dwlndlod to a

In quadrature and adorns the western
sky with his serene presence, diversity

Delta Geminorum, making n charming
picture that all who are inclined may

West, rising higher In the heavens
every night, and winning tributes of ad

D'ALvIN1, TIE JUGGLER.
Feats of Balancing that Are Truly Re-
markable.

The feats OF D'Alvlni, the juggler, who
is now making tour OF the country, have
attracted great interest In many OF the
larger cities. Tie is not "Jap," although
he might easily be taken for one. Neither is
he Frenchman or an Italian, as his name
might indicate. on the contrary, he Is q
London cooliney, and he glorles In the fact.
lie is an EnglIshman In bone and marrow,
and when he sings "God Save the Queen"
he means IL. In recent interview with n
Philadelphia Nccs reporter, he explained
some Of the feats OF lugglery which have
long puzzled the public.
"1he Indian jugglers,n he said, zap
parently make plant grow froIi seed In
few minutes. They cannot force nature,
Of course, and they accomplish this by
means OF advance agents, who conceal the
| full-grown plant hours beforehand on the

| other OF their feats is an illusion. The
| lugglers put boy In large basket, and

luton OF the mystery Is found In the fac
| that the jugglcr wears burnous, or gar
ment with ample folds. The boy Is re.

| D'Alvlni's skin is due to long continued
| practice. Some of his feats are remarkable
| The "Fairy Fountain act Is n triumph OF
balancing. In this act he builds japanese
| pagoda out OF blocks OF wood, the founda

has been completed stream of water issue,

ALARMING STATISTICS.
The Appalling Danger that Ia Hanging
over New York city and Mostof the
Country.
I. Y. World !

IN Y. World
The official statistics Of the city Of New
York, recently published, show that nearly
ihrce.fourths of all the deaths OF each
year arise from consumption or some throat
or lung trouble. This is terrible, but, uu
fortunately, 1t is true. a person notices
slight cough, but thinks II is nothing. Or,
perhaps, he raises considerable phlegm IN
the morning, or there is q tickling In the
throat, or tightness OF the chest. These
arc the first symptoms OF consumption.
Doctors differ as to whether consump-
tion can be cured In the last stages, but
II can ne cured IN nearly cCcTg case II htkcn
IN time. 1t must be thrown OF. DO not lot
1t secure the least foothold Some pure
and powerful stimulant which strengthens
Nature aud restores waste tissue Is un-
Qucs,ionably the only certain manner OF
throwing of this terrible Monster, and
physicians have found that DufTy's Pure
Malt Whiskey is superior to any known
preparation for this purpose. 1t contains no
fueel oil. IL stimulates but does not in
toxlcatc. 1t builds up new tissue. It
strengthens the brain, muscles and nerves.
II eilectually wards on consumption.
The number who have prollted by the
above facts is legion, but only one or two
are given. Mr.. NJ. o. Connor, residing at
No. 91l Sackett street, Brooklyn, said:

medical attendance, did not improve.

Whiskey, and 1t has done more good than
is claimed for II. My lung trouble has

Pure Malt Whiskey is certainly the a, p!Vs
W,rd OF lung curarives ~
Mr.. g. b. Kelly, No. So Livingston street,
Brooklyn, said
"Thc patient for whom used DuTy's
Malt Whiskoy is young mau who four

suffering from hemorrhagcs from the luugs

Pure Malt Whiskey about live months aud

stronger than lie has for years. His cough
has nearly gone ard he can sleep well.'
When II is remembered that more than
two.thirds Of all deaths arise from lung
troubles, aud that they can all be prevented
by the above great Remedy II taken In time,
those who neglect to use so simple and pure

TIE WATER SUPPLY.
Connection at Sixteenth and L Streets
with New Main.

The best step toward giving the higher
portions OF the northwest section OF the
city an increased water supply was taken
this morning, when the workmen under
the direction of Captain Symons began to
make connection with the 3j-inch main
at Sixteenth and l. streets with new
20-inch main to run up Sixteenth street to
supply the pumping station. This Is
large job ON account OF the extreme size OF
the mains TO be connected. The supply was
cut off from the 3G-inch main as printed, at
. O'Clock this morning, aud 1t will prob
ably be turned on to. night. The stand.
pipe was filed aud held In reserve in case
OF fire In the northwest. The stops We're
also manned to be ready for turning on In
case OF fire. This is the largest water con.
nection that has been made here for five
wears,
